South Wales Colliery Company, A special meeting of the shareholders of the South Wales Colliery Company was held yesterday at the offices of the company to sanction a lease of a valuable coal property from Messrs. J. and C. Bailey, contiguous to property already held by the company, and in the cream of the South Wales coal fields, which property is offered on the most advan tageous terms. M r . B a il ey, M . P ,, exp l a i ne d th e object of t he meeting, but being personally interested in the matter of the property, he retired when Mr. Kennard, M.P., pre sideded. The hon. gentleman explained, at some length,the great advantages which must accrue to the company by the working of the three properties under one management. Mr. BROWN, in addressing the shareholders, bore his testimony also to the advantages which the company would have in acquiring 1,500 acres of the best part of the South Wales coal fields, and said that the quality of this coal for i ron making and other purposes was not to be surpassed in the district ; to this fact he could bear his personal testi mony as one well acquainted with the district. He might also add, that we can raise coal as cheaply as auy other colliery comp an y, h av i ng b es id es thi s a l o wer rate of royalty , p Fty. , Mr. BAILEY, M.P., re - en t ere d the room after the resolu tions had been unanimously adopted—and addressing the shareholders, said that he entered into the undertaking with the understanding that it was to be honestly managed, and he assured the meeting that so long as he was chairman of that company, his constant atteni ion would be given to its interests, At present they were raising 200 tons per da y , and he hoped ere long the quantity would be 300 tons Per diem. Th e thmeeting concluded with the usual vote of thanks to e chairman. CONEY MARKET AND COMMXRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In th e general discount market a strong demand for monetary accommodation is still experienced. The arrangement of the fortnightly accounts in railway shares and foreign bonds always produces a large number of enquiries for money, and besides this there is the usual settlements to be made for the end of the month, and thus are the rates for even the best bills very firmly maintained, 7 per cent, as at the Bank of England, being the minimum quoi tation. The weekly return, published yesterday evening by the Bank of England authorities, presents changes of a more favourable character than could httve been expected from the recent outflow of bul lion and the increased value of money.

During the last few days there has been very little animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets. Sugars have been in limited re quest, but at steady rates.

The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the anaount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the tree months of 65 ,720 tons for the entries inwards, h but there is an increase of 133,950 tons for the clearances out- Wards. In the coasting trade for the like period, 152,471 tons more were employed than in the correspond ing term of 1863 for the entries inwards, and 121,400 tons for the clearances outwards. The Stock Exchange Markets present a dull and depressed eppearance. The speculative dealings are very few, in fact the public teem to have had almos't a surfeit of them, and as the settlement in foreign and railway securities occupies a great deal of attention, the business negotiated is very limited. Tlae increased value of money has also caused an a dverse influence, and Consols remain at the loss sustained yesterday at the termination of business, N-12 ., 917 1 for money and account.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. • SHOP ROBBEltY.—Catherine Collins, address refused, was charged with stealing from the shop of Mr. Henry William Birch, hosier, 23, Old Compton-street, 50 scarfs of the value of £4. Charles White, assistant to Mr. Birch, said that about 6 o'clock the previous evening the prisoner entered the shop and asked to see some scarfs. He showed the prisoner two boxes, but none of the scarfs in thorn would suit her, and she then apked to see one from the window. Having a suspicion of the prisoner, while at the window he turned round and saw her putting something under her apron. He then walked round the counter and told the prisoner that she had something under her apron. At first she said that she had not, bac directly after pulled the scarfs out and threw them on the floor—there being 50 of them, of the value of £4. The prisoner then asked to be forgiven, but on Mr. Birch sending for a constable she became very vio lent, and tried to bite Mr. Birch's hand. She was then given into custody. Donelly, 628, proved being called to Mr. Birch's, and raid that on taking the prisoner into custody she denied stealing the scarfs, and said the assistant had dropped them. She refused her address, and on being searched only is 7d was found in her possession. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, CRUELTY TO I HORSB.—Thomas Wicks, in the employ of Mr. Matheson, 11, Rathbone-place, furniture dealer, was charged at the instance of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Ani mals, with cruelty to a horse, by using it while in an unfit state. From the evidence of George Cloyco, one of the society's officers, it appeared that he was on duty in Peland-street, when he observed the defendant driving a horse attached to a cart, The horse appeared to be paralysed, lame in its fore legs, and could scarcely get along, the lock tendons of both legs being contracted, and the poor animal altogether in a state of debility. While talking to the defendant the owner came up and expressed his wish to have the horse destroyed at once. The owner was then in attendance. Defendant said he had driven the horse for 14 or 16 years, but had never noticed it going lame before. The owner said it was his wish to have the horse de stroyed at once. Mr. Knox ordered the horse to be destroyed at once, and the defendant left the court with Cloyce for that purpose, and reported that tho poor animal had been put out of its misery. 61 7/ ;29 133 134 137 i in 1:3 91 83 C4l 65i 114 1101 06 67 102 104 42 43 1104 111 98 90 54 55 V3l 114 i 1301 1341 100 IC2 5n 6n 2n 25. 101 1011 504 67} 8:4 904 128 131 14 2 al , 77 79 1( 11} 121 123 39 40 t 4 65 83 85 90j 01 'lO3 105 8 0 160 370 90 10 b l 8 80 (, 165 170 5 7 t. 3 4 p 96 93 65j 41 no; 102 i ncri f 11 LITERATURE, Military Ends and Moral Means. By Colonel J. J. Graham, author of " The Art of War." One Vol. Pp. 464. Smith, Elder, and Co. Colonel Graham has a true appreciation of the real dignity of calling. He is animated by a genuine esprit-de-corps, and would fain have every soldier, from the highest to the lowest, regarded with respect by the rest of the community; and, above all, he would have every soldier regard his chosen profession with feelings of reverence and affection. Especially does the Colonel quarrel with the "theory of eritz-lent" as put forth by many of those who have given :et ! ,ir evidence before the Recruiting Commission, and who it:::';:le the young recruit's enlistment to tho lowest motives. The pros and cons of both sides of the question are very logically considered by the Colonel, who sums up his evidence with the declaration that " the pro fession of a soldier is a noble one, ard., as a rule, it is desirable that every man should get credit for entering it from noble and worthy motives, and his ciscipline should be regulated accordingly until a change of system is called for by his own misconduct." "As the vigour and beauty of the tree in the natural world depend on the soundness of the roots, so the efficiency and morale of an army correspond with the intrinsic moral and physical standard of the individual members composing its ranks." The Colonel's very praiseworthy object in publishing this most excellent and interesting volume is to direct the practical attention of all who have the Soldier's interest at heart to the importance of that moral element by which he, as well as every other thinking being, is so much influenced. The soldier is not to be regarded as a machine but as a man, in proof of which in how many instances have not. battles been won by moral influence when, esti mated by the laws of physical force, they were hopeless! Such inetances ebua ad in the various historical references with which the work is illus trated. Under the heading, " Mural Influence," the woneerful power exercised by some commanders is particularly dwelt upon. Sir Walter Scott, in writing on the influence of' the Chief over his Soldiers, exclaims — "They love a captain to obey, Boisterous as March and frank as May, Ever the first to scale a tower, As venturous in a lady's bower, Sach valiant chief shall lead his host From India's fire to Zembla's frost." This volume, so honourable to its author and his profession, is very appropriately dedicated (with special permission) to the Duke of Cambridge, Commanding-in-Chief, who has in so many in stances evidenced his personal anxiety to uphold the dignity and ameliorate the condition of the Sol dier. Colonel Graham has evidently bestowed much time and labour upon his task, which has to him been a labour of love. He has collected evidence and information from very nume rous and most various sources in reference to past and present times and to the military arrangements of our own and other countries. His work will well repay a careful perusal, and is admirably calculated to aid the cause which is so dear to his soldier-heart. The Stream of Life on our Globe. By J. L. Milton, M.R.C.S. oae Vol. pp. 614. Hardwicke. At first sight the reader is disposed to regard with dismay a work which professes to propound to him " the archives, traditions, and laws of the stream of life on our Globe, as revealed by modern discoveries in geology, and paltemitology," &0., but on a closer investigation we find that Mr. Milton has arranged his very imposing materials with such a careful and happy discrimination that tho result of his labours affords ns a very interesting matter of contemplation. Be ginning almost before the begicning, with the amazing, revelations of Geology we find new cause (as may readily be found every day) to mar vel over " the things of heaven and earth that are undreamt of in our philosophy." Here for example is a startling picture of ENGLAND IN EARLY DAYS. The mind finds it difficult to realize the ilea that a coun try so well tilled and drained as England, find subjected to tho plough as far back as authentic history goes, was once a steaming mosses covered with the rank tropicll vegeta tion of the tree-fern groves, its awful silence broken only by the hum of the shardy beetle, the rash of the hideous flying lizards through lofty woods of ferns and reeds, or the tramp of the giant iguanodons over tke plashy welds. Imagina tion left to itself could scarcely have indulged in so wild a flight as to picture an era when palm-trees waved in Kent and Hampshire, and the plains of Cumnor were the coral reefs of some primaeval lagoon ; when the tiger and hyena lurked in the thickets of Kirkdale and the trumpeting of the great northern elephant was heard on the moors of Yorkshire and the downs of Brighton ; when the nautilus spread its sail to the breeze or plied its busy oars in the waters of the Effra; while the bison fed on Cromer plains, and the sullen river-horse and:rhinoceros browsed by the Thames and the Avon, or lay down to die by the Onse and the Aire. Yet all these things were. The hammer of the geologist has conjured up many a picture of the farthest eld far more weird and wondrous than over was fabled, and though of times far beyond the ken of history, yet supported on proofs for which we vainly hunt in tradition. The historian only seeks to trace back the annals of our island to the days when it was first peopled by painted savages, living in wig • warns like the red Indian or beaver, and hunting with the rude bow and flint-headed arrow; the geologist recalls the times when it was the home of the dragon, the turtle, and the iguanodon. From the revelations of Geology we pass on to the eonsideration of the Races of Man, and on this sub ject Mr. Milton affirms that a mixed race can never endure, that in process of time the original stock predominates. In a kindred spirit Mr. Disraeli, when eloquently dilating up3n the greatness of the Caucasian race, remarked that "other inferior races fall by that law of Nature which is f ital to ours." Mr. Milton declares that "the Englishman is not the Saxon, ho lived here ages before the Saxon was known." Very interesting is the concluding por tion of this book where the individual man becomes the subject of our study. In the chapter on men of genius, the writer distinctly contradicts the theory that " Great wit to madness nearly is allied." On the contrary, ho affirms that it is " weak•miuded people who generally go mad." With regard to men of genius, he observes, " the temple of the soul may be a little strained and wrung, but it is made of first rate material. The partition between wit and crsziness may be thin, but it is as strong for all practical purposes as sevenfold brass." Physical as well as intellectual giants also comes under our scrutiny,:and we read among other curious anecdotes, a record of Mr. Bright of Maldon, a greater man than Daniel Lambert himself, for, in the said Mr. Bright's waistcoat, five men of ordinary size were buttoned without straining a stitch I Appalling although the title-page unquestionably is Mr. Milton's book is full of interest and anecdote. It is also full of information on themes more important than the giants above-mentioned, Garibaldi and Italian Unity. By Lieut.-Colonel Chambers. One Vol., pp. 328. Smith, Elder, and Co. Garibaldi being a subjeot of peculiar interest at the present moment, Colonel Chambers' .work is certainly well timed. Believing, "from informa tion obtained during a residence in Italy, that there was much unknown respecting General Garibaldi, particularly with regard to the part he took in the transactions thAt led to the disastrous affair of As promonte," the writer of this volume has endeav oured to give an account of Garibaldi's doings be tween the spring of 1859 and the close of 1863. , ‘No previous history comes down later than the early part of the year 1861." Some portion of the contents of this volume have already appeared in the public press, but ;hey are here accompanied by other anecdotes and rumours, with which Colonel Chambers has become acquainted in his repeated I travels on the Continent. Corpulence : its Diminution and Cure. The first edition of Dr. Harvey's pamphlet having sold very rapidly, the learned author has been in duced to publish a second and revised issue to meet the great demand that at present exists for the work. The Doctor enters thoroughly into the subject, and, after reciting the causes of corpulence, says, " Women, unfortunately, are more subject to it than men, and they esp3cially should take care to guard against embonpoint ; for it is not an un rommon occurrence to bee the handsome, elegant woman lose, little by little, in an exuberance of fat, all the grace of person and ease of carriage for which she was so much admired." No doubt the matter has been the cause of deep regret to many a fair one, but according to Dr. Harvey there is a remedy, there is a cure without injury to health. Then follow chapters on the treatment of too great em bonpoint and upon the choice of fcod and drink for the diminishment of fat. Liquid made-dishes, with mnoh gravy must be avoided, so must large quan. titles of fish, also certain vegetables—potatoes, French beans, and peas more particularly. Fruit is forbidden, so likewise is all farinaceous food. The learned author gives his reasons for everything he advances, so that we may recommend the work to all those suffering from the particular malady of which it treats. SECOND EDITION.

FORTUNATE CAPTURE OP NOTORIOUS TRIEVES,—A. young man, very respectably-dressed, who gave the name of Henry Thurley, was charged with stealing a basket of plate from the residence of the Rev. Mr. Margeson. Elizabeth Prestige, servant at No. 3, Green's-race, Chel sea, said that on the 31st of March she was cleaning the street door-steps, at a little after 9 in the morning, when she saw the prisoner, and two other men. She observed them go to several houses, and two of them came to her. One of them was the prisoner, who enquired whether she had any broken glass to mend, and replied that she had not. At that moment another of the three men, named Gollings, called the prisoner, who, with his other companion, then went away with him. The police informed the magistrate that Gellengs, a noto rious thief, was already in custody, and remanded on this charge. Prisoner put several questions to the witness, who swore most positively that he was the man, which it seemed at last by the form of the questions the prisoner himself did not deny. Emma French said she was housemaid to the Rev. Mr. Margeson, and a basket of plate value £2O was stolen from her master's house, between 9 and 10 on the morning of the 31st. She had brought it down two hours previously, and placed it in a cupboard in the front kitchen, the door of which was left unlocked. Access could be obtained to the kitchen from the area. The police said that the prison , :r was well known to them se oue of the most expert thieves in London in robberies of this class. Further evidence could be produced against him. He was remanded. THAMES. DARING ROBEHET IN THE LONDON Docits.—Thomas Crompton and John Bayn, dock labourers, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 7lbs. of coffee. George Ellis, a constable in the London Docks, said that yesterday afternoon he saw Crompton going towards the gate, and about to leave the duck. The prisoner was look ing bulky. He stopped him, and found upon him 2lbs. of the best raw coffee. It was concealed in a very ingenious manner, in the leg of a pair trousers under the prisoner's outer trousers, and tied up above and below, so as to make up a kind of bag. The coffee was quite clean. The prisoner said be had been at work on board ship, and obtained the coffee at No. 10 warehouse. Francis Andus, a dock constable, said Baynton followed the other prisoner, and he stopped him and searched him, and found in two legs of trousers under his outer trousers, 41hs. of raw coffee, and in his cap 11b. more. Baynton said he had been at work on board a vessel called the Elizabeth and Ann. Both prisoners had been in the employ of the company several years. The prisoners said they bad no defence to make. Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoners to be each impri soned for two months, and kept to hard labour. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was but moderate.

Lord STRATHE DEN said ho was only anxious that the subject which stood for discussion in another place should be considered there before it was taken up by their lordships. THE SEIZURE OF THE STEAM RAMS. The Earl of DEItI3Y rose to call attention to the pub lished correspondence between her Majesty's Government and Mr. Laird as to the steam rams. His lordship, it would be recollected, some time ago, asked the noble earl, the Secre tary for Foreign Affairs, for certain copies of correspondence relative to this subject, but that was refused on public grounds. Shortly afterwards a motion was made tor the production of the papers in the other house, which were produced. In reviewing the circumstances under which the correspondence had arisen, ho characterised the conduct of the Messrs. Laird as everything that was commendable, seeing that they had withheld nothing from her Majesty's Government, while tho conduct of the Government, on the other hand, he considered highly censurable, seeing it had been most unfair, ungenerous, and he feared illegal. The noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs first received information from the American Consul at Liverpool respecting the nuns on the 7th of August. From that time to the let Sept. the noble earl seemed to have been weighing the facts to see if he could find any evidence to justify the detention of the rams. Pressing letters had in the meantime been sent by the representatives of the American Government, and on Sept. 3 the noble earl was informed, that one of the rams was almost ready to proceed to sea. He seemed to have made up his mind that the rams should be stopped, and they were eeized on the sth of September, and no information to that effect was furnished to Messrs. Laird until the 9th. He thought those gentlemen had been badly treated in the matter, be cause they had done everything in the most open and un disguised manner. Before that time, however, a message it appeared had been sent to the United States, previously informing the Government; that the frame had been stopped, After this a correspondence ensued between the Messrs. Laird and the Government, relative to the persons for whom the two ironclads were being con structed, in the course of which the Messrs. Laird said it was unusual to furnish the names of parties for whom ships were being built; but, notwithstanding that, they at once informed the Government that M. Brave, of Paris, was the person for whom the vessels were constructed, and accordingly a Government agent was at once de spatched to that gentleman in Paris, when he, with out the slightest reserve, showed that person everything connected with the iron -clad, and he returned to London and reported to the Government that he had concluded his inquiry, and that all the matters connected with the owner ship of the two vessels was satisfactory. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening, The STEAXER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BU SIN ESS.

ELPIIINSTONE gave notice that on an early day he would call attention to the expediency of the orders lately issued as to the management and control of her Majesty's dockyards. UNCLAIMED WRECKS. ,Mr. ROGERS asked the President of the Board of Trade, by what authority the proceeds of unclaimed wreck, to which the right of private owners has been acknowledged by the Crown, have been retained by the receivers since such acknowledgment of claim. Mr. M. GIBSON said that this matter was in dispute, and so long as that was the case, the Board of Trade could only give the work to the parties legally entitled to re ceive it. THE CONFERENCE. In reply to Mr. DISRAELI, Sir G. 'REY said it was not correct that the Conference would not reabseruble, They had adjourned, but not sine die, but he was unable to say the day when they would meet again. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) SALMON FISHERIES. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr P. WINDHAM asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring in a bill this session to amend the Salmon Fisheries Act (1861) ? He contended that means should be adopted for the preservation of salmon, and that a tax for this purpose should be imposed, or that a fund should be raised by proprietors, instead of leaving tile mat ter to voluntary contributions. Mr. T. J. BARING agreed with the hon, member, but the matter was one of intricacy. However, it was under the consideration of Government, but he could not promise that any bill relative to it would be introduced this session. CASE OF MR. WILLIAM BEWICKE, „Mr. BERKELEY moved that this h ouse , upon , ioncifty next, resolve itself into a committee to consider an address to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to direct adequate compensation to be made to Win. Bewick e Threepwood Hall, Northumberl an d , for the pain, d egr adation, anguish of mind, and consequent ill-health, he has suffered, in being confined for 12 months in a prison as a felon, on a charge since proved to be false ; for the confiscation of his geods,chattels, family pictures, plate, and library, thus inflicting upon him an irreparable injury; also for the heavy pecuniary loss he had suite' ed in prose cuting and bringing to justice the persons who had con spired against him, such having been the only means by which eventually he was enabled to establish his inno cence ; and that this house is prepared to assure her Majesty that it will make good the same. The hon. member detailed the principal facts of the case, with which the public are already familiar. Mr. Bewicke went into prison a strong robust man, and came out broken in spirit and constitution. He complained of the terms of the order by which Mr Bewicke was liberated, stating that he was pardoned. It the term pardon must be retained in such orders it should be that the judge and jury should be pardoned for the blunder they had committed. He denounced in the strongest manner the treatment which Mr. Bewick e • had received, and said that his legal expenses amounted to between £2,000 and £3,000, while he lost by the forced sale of his furniture no less than £BO per cent. A mosaic table, which Mr Bewicke procured from Italy, and for which he paid £lOO, was sold for £l7, and a valuable library contain ing the works of Racine and Moliere was sold for the price of waste paper. lie concluded by an earnest appeal to the House to redress the grievances of which Mr. Bewicke so justly complained. (Cheers.) Sir G. GREY said that he must object to the motion, notwithstanding that it excited his sympathy, and he asked the house seriously to consider the question raised by this motion, which involved a most important principl e . Mr. Bewicke had defended an action against him, and the Sheriff of Northumberland had to enforce the costs of it. He employed his officers, and he (Sir G. Grey) would make inquiries into the statement of the character of these men. He :defended] the conduct of the magistrates and the judge andjury, who had no other course than to convict Mr. Bewicke on evidence which bad been adduced on the trial. When a petition was presented to him on behalf of Mr. Bewicke, he adopted the usual course and referred it to the judge who heard the case, and who repeated the statement he made at the trial as to his entire concurrence in the verdict of the jury. With regard to the sale of the furniture, every attempt was made by the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital to induce Mr. Bewick's family to adopt means to prevent the removal of his furniture, but without success, and they had no other course to pursue but to put up the furniture to pub lic sale. lie regretted tbat Mr. Bewicke should have de fended himself instead of employing counsel, who would have sifted the evidence, and perhaps exposed the character of the witnesses, on whose evidence he wa s conv i cted. If they were to a ffirm the principle of this motion they would go to the extent of deciding that in every ease there should be compensation where there had been an erroneous conviction. This was a subject that required great consideration, and was too important to be settled by the circumstances of a particular case. With regard to compensation that was another matter, and as Mr. Bewicke said property worth £1,500 was sold for £4OO, he would not object to an inquiry into the subject. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. MANNERS supported the motion, and con demned the line of argument adopted by th e ome Secre tary. _ After a few words from Mr. INGHAM and Mr. LIDUELL, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to address the house, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.)

Buchanan, warehouseman, Glasgow Funeral of the Polish Exile, Lieutenant. Colonel Nowosielski. Amongst the comparatively few Polish exiles now in this country there was none probably who shared more in the affections of his compatriots in arms than Lieutenant-Colonel Nowosielski, or was more beloved by all who knew him. His remains were interred on Tuesday afternoon at Highgate Cemetery, and his grave was attended by numbers of his countrymen of all ranks, anxious to pay this last sad tribute of respect to his memory. The mourners were Colonel Ohorski , Captain Kosmian, Messieurs De Wylde, Prasinowski, Ostrowaki, Raczynski, Mr. John Robert Taylor, honorary secretary to the National League for the Indepen deuce of Poland ; and Mr. John Richardson, COM. mon Councilman. Also, we observed the follow ing friends of the deceased :--General Count ZA moyski, Major Skulirnoweki, Messieurs. M. gorski, and Charles Ruprecb.t, Delegates of the Na. tional Government of Poland. Major Szulczewski, Major ,Giolgiud, Captain Bobczynski, A Zabicki, &c. The national Polish flag, draped in black crape preceded the funeral cortege. The service was performed according to the Church of Eng. land ritual, when, amidst the most profound silence, A. Zabicki delivered a most impressive oration in the Polish language, expatiating on the virtues of the deceased, and impassionedly depiated the great loss the Poles had sustained in the death o their departed brother. This was followed by an eloquent address from Mr. Richardson, which he concluded by reciting the following very beauti ful lines composed by Mrs. Richardson for the occasion : 'Tie past—thy time of strife and pain, Thy life's Lag agony, And thou art gone where pain shall cease, And tears are wiped away, At rest—in peace ; we leave thee here Beneath our English skies, No longer Exile in the land "Where thy brave soul shall rise, Son of that Noble Land for whom . Thou wouldet have died to save, Her tyrants cannot reach thee here Within thy quiet grave. Free tears are shed above thee now; TLie shall thy requiem be— " The Patriot spirit cannot die, And Poland shall be free." After another address by a Polish exile, in the Polish language, Mr. J. R. Taylor advanced i n front of the grave, and drew the attention of those present to the uncertainty of human life, and the joy they should all feel that their departed brother had well performed his mission to this world, and that other Polish patriots would soon rise up to take his place. He expressed his deep sorrow that Mr. Edmond Beales, the President of the National League for the Independence of Poland, was not present to take part in the proceedings, and read the following passage from a letter, apo•ogi'ing for his absence, written by hitn to C a? tain Bobcz yneki I received the news of 'Aeut.-Colonel Nowosieiski'e death with unfeigned s orrow. I hon oured him whilst living as one of the noblest minds and purest hearts amongst y o ur patriot band of Polish emigrants, whose devotion under the most cruel persecutions, an d the most Severe trials to their own co untry and the rights of other nations has bound me with loving loyalty to their cause and to P o land for many, many years. I shall ever cheri s h bis memory with a pious affec. tion. Pray, express this f or me, if necessar y —m y heart, if n ot my pers on, is with you. May Almighty God, in hi s a ll ru ling and all directing providence iu Christ Jesus our Saviour, yet realise all the de sires and wishes of our departed friend for the re establishment of Poland, the peace of Europe, and the welfare of mankind." Mr. Taylor concluded by emphatically expressing his belief that the Almighty was with them, and that Poland must and would be free. The cortege then left the cemetery, end the proceedings terminated. 19.16.4 12.10 ik
